In the course of Corinthians’ draw with Cruzeiro on Saturday night, the main defensive highlight was the young Gabriel Moscardo. The 17-year-old defensive midfielder had the most tackles during the 90 minutes and was voted the second best player of the match by Fiel.
With the ball, Moscardo connected 93% of the passes he attempted and all four launches made. He also completed four dribbles. In defensive moments, he played 18 ground duels and won nine. He cleared a ball and disarmed four opponents. The data was computed by the SofaScore.
The last tackle was added to the match and ended in a goal for Corinthians. Gilberto, Cruzeiro striker, was launched in the right corridor of the black and white defense and the number 44 went to cover and in the act of stealing the ball from the opponent, he passed it under his legs. Then he started the move that culminated in Gustavo Silva’s header.
On social networks, the crowd went down with the player born in 2005. “How beautiful this defensive midfielder Moscardo from Corinthians plays, very good with the ball”, said one fan. “moscardo is different“, another quoted – check out some publications below.
Born in Taubaté, Gabriel Moscardo arrived at Corinthians when he was 13 years old. He does most of his training at Parque São Jorge and in 2023 he had just been promoted to the Under-20. Now, in less than a year, he has been noticed by Luxembourg to be the team’s first defensive midfielder. He recently renewed until 2026, the maximum period allowed by the Pelé Law. Timão owns 80% of his economic rights.

I follow the statistics of several players and games a lot, especially the Brasileirão.
I don’t remember a 17-year-old player having a game of 50 Passes with over 90% and 4 Tackles playing away from home.
Gabriel Moscardo is an absurd prospect. pic.twitter.com/3CjZQmctZc

This Moscardo who played yesterday didn’t play against SP because he was “without game rhythm” 4 days ago? Luxembourg has to fall immediately
